Unfortunately, more protection meant less mobility. Finally armor be­ came so cumbersome that it. was rele­ gated to museums--the useless antique was discarded--not the man under the metal coverall.

A shallow faith can­ not survive the twentieth century--or any era for that matter. But the Christian faith is not superficial, or outmodedl It survives, and continues to reach millions each Sunday--proof that Christianity is not destined for the museum.

As Americans we like to think that we live in a Chiistiar. nation, a nation that truly honors God. America is a ^nation that dues not have \ King or Queen. Our President is re­ spected but, not worshipped. Th^ right to worship as one chooses is guaranteed each in­ dividual in our Constitution. There ale a lot of aspects of , our nation that could not be labelled "under God". Our na­ tion seems to be at a low moral time in its history. It seems that the relevant question is, "Which way, America?" Will America be like other powerful nations in the past that have let afflu­ ence lead them into immoral­ ity and thus downfall? Or will America truly be a nation of homes and churches--one na­ tion under God? IT George R. Justen Funeral Home 3519-W. Elm Street McHenry, III. 385-2400 First National Bank of McHenry 3814 W.

Chappell, Pastor First Baptist Church, McHenry THE SHIELD OF FAITH As Polybus, the ancient historian, described the armor worn by a typical Roman soldier, he listed first the shield. He describes it as "a convex surface two and a half feet wide and four feet high; at the rim, its thickness is a palm's breadth." The shield was the most important article of defense for the soldier. The historian continues by stating that most soldiers wore a bronze plate of a span's breadth (9 inches) each way, which was placed over their hearts as a "heart protector". But first and most important to the fighting man was his shielji. The Bible speaks of an individual Christian's faith as his "shield." (Ephesians 6:16) The shield of faith is a vital part of the Christian's armor. The Christian life is a warfare, a spiritual conflict. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:12) We are admonished to take the shield of faith as our protective instrument against such powers. The shield of faith cannot be simply a figment of one's imagination. It is not enough to say, "I have faith!" Faith is not something which a person turns on as he would a water faucet. Just as the soldier was often forced to build his own shield. Christians must participate in the building of personal faith. Faith is the result of experience. Faith is trust. Faith is assurance. Satan would "shoot us down" as we seek personal ex­ periences with God. Suppose we feel we need to pray. Perhaps our doubts cause us to consider ceasing to pray. But our past ex­ periences give us faith to continue. We raise our "shield". When we doubt the value of prayer, we remember the scriptural promise of answered prayer and raise our "shield." Many gifts of God are unavailable to those without faith. Without faith you cannot please God(Hebrews (11:6), cannot pray (James 1:6), cannot have peace with God (Romans 5:1). We are to live by faith (Galatians 2:20), we are made righteous by faith (Romans 10:1-4. We cannot be born again without faith (John 3:36). Therefore, "above all, take the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench aU the fiery darts of the wicked (one)." (Ephesians 6:16). Child Mental Health A major new thrust in mental health services for children is being mounted with support from the Health Services and Mental Health Administration's National Institute of Mental Health. . Special funds in the amount of $ 10.000.000 have been ear­ marked to implement child men­ tal health services through com­ munity mental centers. The new funds will provide staff grant support for children's services and will be used to de­ velop preventive programs that reach out to children in their normal neighborhood settings. These programs will make available a full range of treat­ ment. liaison, and follow-up mental health services that may include such activities as day care, consultation to schools, and family counselling. To receive the new grant sup­ port. community centers must develop the kinds of preventive programs that supplement and go beyond the basic services cur­ rently available. Priority emphasis will be given to stimulating and devel­ oping innovative approaches that pull together and coordi­ nate existing human services re­ sources for children within the community. . - This will include special atten­ tion to close collaborative pro­ gramming of services in com­ munity mental health centers with other community child and family health services and a vari­ ety of experimental approaches to the establishment of local health and human service deliv­ ery systems. The development of more and better services for children is a chief concern of the National Institute of Mental Health and has been made one of the top priorities of the Institute. SPACE:,,** AERONAUTICS^ MEDICAL ADVANCE WASHINGTON--A breath analyzer promises to provide major assistance in the diag­ nosis and therapy of respira­ tory diseases. The compact, fully auto­ matic mobile medical gas analyzer uses technology first developed under contract to NASA. The gas analyzer measures the composition of air breathed in and exhaled from the lungs as an aid in monitoring pulmonary and cardiovascular activity in pa­ tient*. Oxygen, carbon di­ oxide, nitrogen and addition­ al selected gases are meas­ ured by the device simul­ taneously and on a breath-to- breath basis. The National Institutes of Health has received the first of the new devices aitd is typ­ ing the equipment in sorhe\of the studies being conducted* in its pulmonary research branch.

Elm I I McHenry flew on Explorer Satellites 17 and 32, demonstrating ac­ curate operation for more than a year in a rugged space environment without adjustment or maintenance. In hospital intensive care units, the instrument can be used to monitor the breathing of acutely ill patients, signal­ ing the need for changes in therapy more efficiently than present methods. In surgeries, the anesthe­ siologist can monitor the pa­ tient's progress, checking in­ haled and exhaled concentra­ tions of anesthetic gas. Indications of a patient's metabolic activity can be de­ rived from comparisons of oxygen consumption and car­ bon dioxide production in the lungs. Cardiovascular insuf­ ficiency can also be detected. The efficiency of the lungs in transporting oxygen to the blood stream can also be measured.
